The situation at an apartment fire early Monday in Rutherford, New Jersey, was apparently exacerbated byresidents‘ attempts to remove a burning piece of furniture from the building.
Fire MarshalPaul Dansbach, anFDIC presenterand188金宝搏是正规吗contributor, toldThe Record(http://bit.ly/114GKDh) that residents of a first-floor apartment tried to drag a flaming futon outside through the front door, but the futon got wedged in the doorway and blocked the exit. Fueled by the outside air, the flames extended to the frontporchof the structure, blocking residents’escapepath.
Firefighters used ladders to rescue second-floor residents. At least three people were transported to an area hospital forsmoke inhalation.
The early morning fire at thegarden-style apartmentswas reportedly because of a defective or overheated power cord.
